Royal style: fewer new frocks, more old rocks

Yes I agree about the neck tie/bow - fussy, plus not suitable for baking - looks like it would dip into your baking bowl if you leant forward. Assuming she actually bakes on the show?

Mary Berry looks absolutely tiny in that photo with W & K! They look like giants towering over her.

math yes I think you're right, it was bridge.

Kate has really leaned into midi dresses this year, hasn't she? I bet she owns the Zara spotty number!

I’d so love Kate to be a bit more adventurous/less formal sometimes! I really don’t like the “cabin crew” look she favours all the time.

Nonono Yes! That’s the bit!

Kate's frock is suitably festive though, isn't it 🌲🤶🏻🎅🏻?

Clive James and Bill Bryson are both absolute masters of their crafts - in very different styles. Bryson's book about Australia (Down Under) is laugh out loud hilarious - especially for his description of getting lost in the wilds of upper crust, leafy, inner-suburban Sydney and chased by wild dogs 🤔.

Hi everyone, avid follower of these threads for a long time. This photo from the Monaco palace has just been published - I love the colour and style of Charlene's dress.

Omar was backgammon wasn't he?

I saw W&K in Singapore. Just so strange seeing such familiar faces up close.

Anyone fancy some Royal Doulton royals for Christmas?

How have they made Charlotte so ugly????!!!!

Somebody at Royal Doulton is a secret republican!

Have they modelled those things on waxworks of the Royals - shortly after a serious fire in the waxwork museum?!

Royal Doulton Meghan is ridiculous. Literally no resemblance at all.

Yikes, that Royal Doulton stuff is serious tat!!!

The RD Charlotte looks like Wee Jimmy Crankie! They've got Kate's hair and Meghan's dress right but that's about the kindest thing you can say about them.

Sweet jesus! How are they still "Royal" Doultan after that? I'd be revoking that Royal status asap. Awful.

gosh. Those are seriously dreadful.

Kate’s baking outfit is just daft. What’s the point of the apron? All the flour will get stuck in her bow.

Princess Charlene looks so uncomfortable all the time. For someone who used to compete publicly, it surprises me she can’t fake a smile on the big occasions.

They are reduced if anyone is interested,
a Bargain at £146.
Kate looks like Carol
Were they in a rush to manufacture them?

The dress has been customised to add that hideous pussy bow!

The dress is on sale at the moment but was £1900 originally, it's 100% silk and by Alessandra Rich (she designed Meryl Streep's Margaret Thatcher clothes in 'The Iron Lady').

Oh I love Alessandra Rich, her designs are gorgeous! , but this one is my least least favourite. There are some much nicer dresses.

That dress on Kate is just frumpsville. She is so staid.

The clash of colours between all four of them is hilarious. Was there nobody in charge of the artistic look?

It’s like Royal Doulton said to themselves ‘Nobody buys these things apart from people who’d buy them no matter what they look like, so let’s not waste too much effort on them’

Kate needs to start taking a few risks with her day wear. That dress is dreary.
